accordance with The Prophecy scribed: Not a strange coincidence?? Please!........ I have no intention of convincing anyone that the Biblecode is valid. I'm not convinced! But unlike some skeptics in this forum I will not dismiss it outright. I've had enough experience with the paranormal to know that something is bleeding through from the next dimension. Anything is possible. Like I said, numerous predictions are looming on the horizon. Let's wait and see. The Moby Dick Code is much more accurate: http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/moby.html -- DrPostman USPS, MBMC, BsD; "Disgruntled, But Unarmed" Member,Board of Directors, afa-b, SKEP-TI-CULT® #15-51506-253.

in accordance with The Prophecy scribed: Launching this December, "Deep Impact", due to fire a 820 pound projectile into the comet, in July 2005, to give us a look at the composition. Predictions are that the comet will brighten to about 5th magnitude, so you'll still need a scope or binoculars, if it hits as predicted night-time Australian time. I'll make a quick prediction. The chicken littles of the world, and the conspiracy nuts will suddenly become aware of this mission, and get all twitterpated about it. Some will worry that bits of the comet might break off and hit the Earth, and try to stop the mission even after launch. Others will think NASA has "known all along that this comet was heading for Earth, and this is designed to stop it", conveniently ignoring both the ephemeris of the comet, and the energy being released by the projectile. Hoaxland and McCanney, and the Millennium Group will continue to claim that comets are hot, electrified bodies, and not cold, regardless of spectrographic evidence to the contrary. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this, because the display should be awesome. For more data, go he http://www.nasa.gov/missions/solarsy...-I_Arrive.html and http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html I've even seen kooks claim that they are using DU for the projectile and that this will cause a bigger explosion. How they come up with such nonsense I cannot fathom. -- DrPostman USPS, MBMC, BsD; "Disgruntled, But Unarmed" Member,Board of Directors, afa-b, SKEP-TI-CULT® #15-51506-253.
